Thanks, Allan! Yeah, scratch built, but with a heavy helping of Dwarven Forge tiles.

Sounds fun!

Gold badge registration began today at Noon EST.  How's it been going for folks?  (I don't register until Saturday).

Smoothest event registration I've ever had at Gary Con.  Got into all events I wanted to get in on with no hiccups.  Well done Luke and crew.  See you all there!

I won't be writing down the auction results this year. (I'm playing in a game overlapping the auction.)

So if y'all want to hear the auction results afterward, somebody else needs to take notes and post them.

By Bifur, Bofur, Bombur and Bilbo Baggins, betwixt and between, they will be seen, their wares to gleam, and display their esteem, in Playboy's lair of fevered dream.

Amidst this wonderful poetic display
of words and products to assay
my senses to persuade me to buy
As I contemplate why.
I might be beguiled
oft which wondering while
These vendors whom are all great
Allow a Tom Wham dollar rebate
So my purchase may make me smile.

Yep, gamer poetry at its worst folks.

Awesome guys  :)

We will have the Die Cast Games booth again this year. Looking forward to another fantastic GaryCon. BTW mrmanowar, some local fermented goodness will also be brought along for sharing(hopefully some Zombie Dust or Space Station Middle Finger).[/quote]


I will have some hard to find things too... Like Founders Lizard of Koz and others to surprise you.  I will stop by your booth with beer goodness for you both to sample and enjoy.

Edit... Space Station Middle Finger is decent but I like Zombie Dust more!  Another one I will bring is Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout and if you have any requests, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

I had a fantastic time this year at Gary Con!  Good to see lots of Acaeum members.  Special thanks to Frank and Debbie for another amazing Frankenparty with plenty of good food.  Also Jason Buhlman's "Wands of Orcus" food things he made were awesome!  I'll be back for the Frankenparty next year should it happen.  Good to say hi to Stratochamp, bbarsh, bracton and others however briefly.  Thanks also to Ghul and Chainsaw for the AS&SOH goodness and METAL quotes.  Also thanks to the Burntwire Bros. for a fantastic purchase and the great beer exchange. Thanks to Grodog for being patient and helping me to see what Black Blade stuff I missed (you were the only one my debit card declined; when I called my bank they deemed you a "suspicious purchase" so I don't know what you were selling there, hahaha... but my other card wasn't so scrupulous in detail so purchase was made).    Thanks to muaddib and sons for a good game.  Thanks to Alex K. (Gamehole) and Jon (increment) for your time and drinks and conversation; made my day also.  Shout out to the Dead Games Society folks too.  This was one of the better Gary Con's for me and I am happy to have the hotel booked for next year already and I look forward to seeing you all again.  Apologies to anyone I missed.  I loved all my games, all the social time and all my purchases although I barely made it into the dealer hall due to so many things going on.  Looking forward to Gary Con X!

Edit: Special hello to Nogrod and BadMike (great to meet you!) for the S&W goodness and conversation!
